Issue of one ordinary share and admission of Ordinary Shares in Conjunction with Share Consolidation and Total Voting Rights

In conjunction with the consolidation of the Company's existing shares, the Company has today allotted and issued one new ordinary share of £0.01 credited as fully paid up by way of capitalisation of its distributable reserves to round up holdings to a number, which following Consolidation, leaves a whole number of Ordinary Shares. An application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority and to the London Stock Exchange for admission of one ordinary share of £0.01 and the 48,223,835 Ordinary Shares of £0.20 each to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission"). For clarity, this Admission is in replacement of the Company's previously listed 964,476,699 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each. It is expected that Admission will occur at 8 a.m. on 5 December 2023. The ISIN for the Ordinary Shares following Consolidation is GB00BQHP5P93.

Following Admission, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 48,223,835 Ordinary Shares of £0.20 each in the Company. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, following Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 48,223,835. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in the text of this announcement have the meanings given in the Circular.
